Hi,

I am having trouble getting the pptp daemon working. Hope
its ok to mail this here.

Once pptpd is running, if a client connects it comes up
with the following:

Oct  2 22:52:19 router pptpd[2608]: MGR: Manager process started
Oct  2 22:52:39 router pptpd[2610]: CTRL: Client 192.168.0.2 control
connection started
Oct  2 22:52:39 router pptpd[2610]: CTRL: Starting call (launching pppd,
opening GRE)
Oct  2 22:52:39 router pppd[2611]: pppd 2.4.0 started by root, uid 0
Oct  2 22:52:39 router modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module tty-ldisc-3
Oct  2 22:52:39 router pppd[2611]: Couldn't set tty to PPP discipline:
Invalid argument
Oct  2 22:52:39 router pppd[2611]: Exit.
Oct  2 22:52:39 router pptpd[2610]: GRE: read(fd=4,buffer=804da20,len=8196)
from PTY failed: status = -1 error = Input/output error
Oct  2 22:52:39 router pptpd[2610]: CTRL: PTY read or GRE write failed
(pty,gre)=(4,5)
Oct  2 22:52:39 router pptpd[2610]: CTRL: Client 192.168.0.2 control
connection finished
Oct  2 22:54:54 router modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module unused
Oct  2 22:54:54 router noip[1132]: Can't get status for unused. (19)
Oct  2 22:59:54 router modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module unused
Oct  2 22:59:54 router noip[1132]: Can't get status for unused. (19)
Oct  2 23:04:54 router modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module unused
Oct  2 23:04:54 router noip[1132]: Can't get status for unused. (19)

I have looked around on the web/newsgroups for information on installing
these modules and enabling pty's in the kernel with no luck. Does anyone
know what options should be enabled in the kernel (2.4.9) to get this
running?

Thankyou in advance,

Alex Richards
